There is so much one can do. So much one can say. So much that one can conduct, to make someone's day. I want to go out into the streets. To reach the homeless and poor. To show them that there is a light. There is hope. And there is a gem hidden amongst the coals of life. I want to help the hurt, broken and lonely. To reach the forgotten and withdrawn, the abused and mistrusted and help them to discover and turn a new page! I do however have my own set of problems. I am not perfect. I am a cutter. I am an addict. I hurt people often. I trust to easily, and I also have trust issues - a lot of it being myself. I have a struggling relationship with God, but I am learning to trust Him, and look for Him, even when I can't see or feel Him. He will always be my light! No matter what hell I think I am going through. <3 Kara (19) (Australia) COPYRIGHT ISSUES... (Unless stated, and even then not always done, the photos and pictures are not my own...

Depression is not a choice.

no-one-hears-before-i-disappear:

You do not choose to be depressed. Who on earth would choose it? Just because a person seems perfect on the outside, does not mean they don’t have “reason” to be depressed. They’re not just being dramatic or whining about their lives. It is something you can not control. If all you could feel was down, lethargic, hopeless, sad, etc. don’t you think you would try to find some way out? It’s different for everybody. Sometimes people look to suicide. That does not mean they just want attention, or anything like that. It means they have a mental illness. Depression is not a choice.
